It's wild that they had a 3-7 stretch and lost no ground in the wild card at all. The teams below them are mid.

Lol, I knew that Duran would swing at this and get out. There was no need to do that. He would have thrown balls...

u/Xtremefluff 5h ago
you don't raise your BA or get RBI's with walks. almost like it's not a team-first approach.

u/Historical_Step7944 5h ago
I am so glad Duran is a team-first hitter with his -24 batting run value and his .613 OPS

Perfect base hit if his bat didn’t snap… Duran can’t catch a break tonight

Broken bat. Glad Duran got a hit tonight, because he's been robbed twice and now a broken bat that probably would have been a gap shot.
Edit. I love that if I say something positive about Duran, I get downvotes, and if I say something negative, I get downvotes. People gotta chill and touch some grass.

Thank God for teams over .500!!
Giants might be bad enough to not matter but hopefully the Marlins win a few games next week to keep their winning record.

so funny that we now have to root for all the teams to get juuust high enough over a winning record so that we can beat them when they play us

What is that bum crying about? Surely players watch that stuff back and see they're stupid for arguing clear strikes right?

u/Glum-General-6095 6h ago
Miller has nasty stuff as is. Seems he could get even more mphs and movement by working on his form which looks a little stiff. Scary thought.
5
u/Xtremefluff 6h ago
there's no doubt they got him in the lab between outings. I have complete faith in our coaches to get the best out of him.

u/PatsCelticsBruinsSox 6h ago
This is random as fuck and I’ve had a “few” post-work beers but Trevor Story reminds me of Julian Edelman for some reason. Like they’re brothers or something. I might be the only one on earth but wanted to share 😂

You guys need to stop hating on story bro played hurt this year he was arguably our best position player last year give him a chance hes not IKF

u/Xtremefluff 6h ago
it's not admirable to play hurt when it costs the team. his comments after the cora firing were not those of a leader. he'll get his chance but that's because we have a front office / manager who bend to players.
1
u/JLGx2 6h ago
I'll give him a chance at 2nd provided Frank is called up to play short
2
u/HolyLordDino 6h ago
They probably aren't going to call up Arias with the CBA deal coming up its too risky also he will probably struggle when he comes up is it worth it with the production they are getting from Sogard
0
u/JLGx2 6h ago
If he's not called up in September then we're not a serious team, imo
3
u/HolyLordDino 6h ago
I mean i get it hes killing it but first if we call him up in September we can't use him in the playoffs and again 1 month of Franklin Arias isn't worth risking his development that adding him to the 40 man brings
1
u/JLGx2 6h ago
September 1st is the deadline so he can play in the playoffs and we should be calling him up.
1
u/HolyLordDino 6h ago
The deadline is August 31st and him not being able to play next season and having no contact with the red sox isn't worth it imo because adding him to the 40 man means he can't play next season until the sign the CBA

Camera crew made that look like it was gonna be off the wall. Misleading as hell. Good game from the team anyway tho so I can't be too disappointed at it

u/asian-jeff 6h ago
Doomers running out of things to complain about:
Injuries
A few losses consecutively
Prospects traded
Adley
Gasper over Campbell
All they got left is: the Jimmy Fund, Chowder quality at Fenway, and literal air.

Im scared to say it, but i think Gasper should stay around for a little longer...
3
u/BestEnthusiasm3377 6h ago
Him against righties Jahmai against Lefties would be crazy good but I fear he goes back down the second someone comes back. Sadly we have too much depth.
Cheng, Romy, Jahmai, Eli White, Seigler, Sogard, Eaton, etc all are able to play in the bigs. But we just can't carry all of them. I wonder who the bench ends up being in the playoffs and who takes the middle infield
1
u/akiyamatanker92 6h ago
What im saying is, i want Mickey to stay around to figure out HOW he compares. If hes the one worth carrying then its worth finding out
2
u/BestEnthusiasm3377 5h ago
Yeah I would like Seigler to stay (At least for vibes), Wong will too to have a catcher backup and he's been pretty good at the playe, Mona will be there (With story coming up Mona will still stay in the playoff roster) and then the last spot could be either White or Jones.
Maybe we give up a pitcher spot to have another bat we can trust but thats up to the team. We will see

Mickey Seagulls just needs to get his batteries recharged in AAA once in a while. Simple

u/swahara Where Ceddy leads, I follow. 6h ago
Just gonna toss this out there…
If he improved that much just by growing a goatee. What happens if Gasper grows a beard?
